I feel Grateful. Four days off work allowed time for dedicated, Great Soap work. Our friends at Scrub your Butt Soap Company told us that their customers love small bars of soap while they are staying in Rochester. Jon made some new soap molds to create nifty 2 ounce bars and I whipped up Zoe’s Lemon Drop and Morning Dew. The smaller size bars are perfect for hotel guests and house guests. Handmade soap is a nice attention to detail, adds a personal touch when company comes to stay and smells Great! The 2 ounce soaps are a Great way...

Did you know that mass produced soap makers remove the natural glycerin and sell it to the beauty industry for a greater profit?

I am grateful for a four day weekend and a little healthy time off from Mayo. I spent my first day off pampering Jon a little (who I unintentionally inflicted with some sort of nasty sinus crud which laid me up last week) and by snatching up a last minute appointment at Envy Hair Studio where Katie Kline gave me a sassy new do. With my edgy new hair cut (see #67 - although, i highly recommend reading all 100) I was eager to complete multiple soap tasks. I started by saving some cigar boxes from our landfill. I dropped off our...

We are really excited to be making progress on some cool stuff for you! Yesterday I got to hang out with my sister Kathy and her husband Brad. We customized some shelves for the Autonomy display and it turned out awesome. Look for The Great Soap Company at Autonomy Tattoo and Body piercing in March! EXCELLENT! We are planning to offer 6 different scents and Hiker bar. What scents do you want to pick up at Autonomy? Comment on this post and let me know.   I’m sad I missed my brother’s grand opening at Minnesota Joe’s yesterday. I’m glad...
